New Mexico Draw Hunts
Draw hunts have to be applied for through the state of New Mexico before the application deadline. Applying with a licensed outfitter in the 10% outfitter pool can significantly increase your odds of drawing a tag. Outfitters are required to have a signed contract before they can apply clients into the state draw and applicants who receive a license by using a registered outfitter's number are required by state law to hunt with that outfitter. You will need to provide a valid credit card to Brugman Outfitting for us to submit your application online. New Mexico Department of Game & Fish (NMDGF) will bill your credit card for the full amount of the license and fees, including a non refundable application fee, at the time your application is processed. If you are successful in the draw you will be able to print your license from your NM game and fish account.If you are unsuccessful in the draw NMDGF will credit your card for the license fees the application fee will not be refunded.
